Early morning

Aarav was sleeping peacefully when he heard the sounds of bells. He woke up and went to the guest room only to find Manik sleeping.He went near him.

" Aapke sath 17 saal raha hu bhai pehli baar aapko sote hue dekh raha hu, humesha aap mere baad sote mujhse pehle uth jate " Aarav while caressing Manik's cheeks.

" Mai sochta hu kabhi kabhi Bhai itna kuch aap kaise kar lete ho,
Ek aur baat aap jante the humari family hai? Phir bhi yaha nhi laye kyu? Aisa nhi hai ki I don't trust you believe me I do, more than myself but phir bhi kyu? Aur ye aise kyu behave kar rahe ho aap? Aapko pata hai bhaiyu ko kitna bura laga jab aapne vaise bola mager unhone kuch bola nhi, bhai mujhe pata hai koi tuh vajah hogi" Aarav says adoring sleeping Manik.

After that he leaves for the bathroom and then goes down stairs only to find Pallavi doing Aarti and Abhimanyu standing beside her.He goes and joins him.

After Aarti when Pallavi turns She finds Abhimanyu, Aarav Standing there And Anay running down the stairs in a hurry.

" Aram se Anu " Pallavi says.

" Sorry maa late ho gaya " Anay says heavily breathing.

" Kab nhi hota " Abhi says unbothered. It was Anay's habit of being late. Not only in puja but in everything except his surgeries Abhi still doesn't understand how he is one of the best doctor. Anay is a total idiot in front of Abhimanyu.

Pallavi gives parsad to three of them. And looked at Aarav.

" Bhai soye hue hai maa" Aarav understanding what she was looking for replies.

" Kitne baje tak sota hai vo Aaru ?" Abhimanyu asks thinking Manik might night owl or something.

" Bhai hamesha 5 baje uth jate hai " Aarav replies seating on the chair.

" Itna jaldi ? " Anay also taking his seat asks.

" Ha vo mere liye lunch bana , mere dress press karna hota tha n tuh usme time lagta tha ye sab karneme hi 7 baj jate phir bhai mujhe uthate phir Ajay bhai ko tab hum tyaar hote, mujhe school chodne ke baad vo dono kam pe chale jate." Aarav replied with a sad smile.

" Manik college attend nhi karta ?" Abhimanyu asks because it was Manik's age for college.

" Nhi pata bhaiya , yaha aake realise ho raha hai ki mujhe tuh kuch pata hi nhi hai, Bhai ko sab pata hai mere bare me mujhe tuh kuch pata hi nahi hai " Aarav says tears forming in his eyes.

Abhimanyu immediately hugs him," teri galti nhi hai baccha tu tuh chota hai n, tu tujhe kaise pata hoga ".

" Bhaiya mai Bhai ke sath 17 saal raha hu can you believe Maine unhe aaj pehli baar sote hue dekha hai, kal pehli baar bhai ne vo khaya jo vo prefer karte hai naki vo jo mai prefer karta hu" Aarav says crying he was feeling guilty now how could he be so selfish? He never noticed Manik before his Bhai has always sacrificed that He loved only to give Aarav his favs.

" Aarav he pampered you Because he choosed to, ye tumhari galti nhi hai aur tum isse selfish nhi kehlate, axa ager mai aur tum dono marne wale ho tuh tum kisko jinda rakhna pasnd karoge? "
Abhimanyu says rubbing his back to calm him down.

" Ofcourse aapko" Aarav says sniffing. " Yahi tuh samjha raha hu Aarav your bhai loved you so much that the choosed to do that. Okay ? " Abhimanyu says.

Pallavi had tears, she runs to kitchen. Why God made her child Suffer so much?. After a while she wipes her tears away and moved toward dinning table.

Aarav was stable now. " Mai bhai ko utha Lata hu der hogai " .
